Good point Sean, never thought of that, always thought it was for reasons which I shant go into for fear of upsetting people ( not that its stopped before)
Also, apart from the useful fact that you can always ask a question to the poster about one of the places they have stayed.....I like being nosey and seeing who stays in the posh places and who roughs it!
I love reading where people have been and love looking at counters,and wishing it was moi jetting off lol, and it helps as you can ask the person a certain question, etc...
